So I just got my car back from Ford for some body repair work and my redline on my gauge isn't changing to 7k once warmed up. Anyone else know what would cause this?
Just replaced the factory mufflers with Kooks, selling the stock ones. Mufflers are in great shape, just need clamps because I needed them for the Kooks. $350 plus shipping.
So I finally have my engine pulled and was able to see all of the damage from when my engine blew. Of course the expected damage was there from the rod breaking, but we found something that wasn't expected. The rod that broke was the number 2 piston on the passenger side, but on the driver...
I'm trying to find a shop in south Louisiana area that can pull an engine and rebuild. I've talked to Futral Motorsports, but they only do late model LS cars, and also Triangle Speed Shop in Orange, TX but they don't rebuild the engines anymore, they only source out shortblocks. Trying to not...
I will be needing to replace my clutch pretty soon and I am looking at the McLeod RXT Twin Disc set up. I am not sure what kind of shape the flywheel is in and will be changing the clutch myself, and I can't resurface the flywheel myself if it is in bad shape. My car has 23k miles on it and...
So I put my gauge mode on the multi view window that shows the boost in number form, not the gauge with the needle, and I noticed that I am running 17-18 PSI on full throttle. I was under the assumption that my car had factory pulleys and should only be pushing 15PSI. Is there a way to tell if...
So I went bring her to the track last night, and I have to say this car doesn't hook up very well, lol. I wasn't able to go full throttle until 3rd gear, right before the 1/8 mile mark. My E.T. wasn't great, but I am happy with my MPH. I think I have maybe 2-3 more MPH once I can actually use...
Finally dry enough to see how she pulls. I wasn't trying to set shifting records either, just seeing how well she pulls after mods. Here is the link.

Yesterday I did a stock baseline pull and then installed a JLT CAI, FRPP Super Cobra Jet Oval TB, JBA ORX, and Lund tune. Stock numbers were 617hp/598tq and the modded pull was 715hp/675tq. They are SAE numbers with 5% load on the Eddie Brake. You can see SAE in top corner of second picture...
So I am finally an owner of the awesome Shelby. I traded my bolt-on 2013 GT to get it. Question is, the car was sold as a 2013 model from the dealership, but all the manuals in the glove box are for a 2014 model, and I read somewhere that only the 2014 model has the snake come up on the nav...
I bought a suction cup mount for my GoPro and decided to try it out on my car. I really need to upgrade my brakes next, the factory ones are horrible.

I was finally able to make some passes. It was hot as shit, I think with better weather I can get in the 11s on my street tires. This was the best 60' I have ever had, even from my old Z06. Here is my slip. I was racing my friends '08 Pontiac G8.
These are my Dyno numbers, SAE, not standard...
Went do a baseline dyno session before I install the Boss 302 manifold and DSS aluminum driveshaft. Numbers were 391hp and 413 tq on 89 street tune through BAMA. I forgot to switch to my race tune when I got to the shop. I was a walk in. Pull was in 5th for 6M, I didn't notice I took the pic of...
I will finally be getting my car on a dyno when I get home from work next week. We have a local performance shop that has just opened up and they have a Dynocom Dyno. Has anyone on here ever used this brand? It has and Eddie brake set up and he says it also can do 1/4 mile runs. Has anyone...
I was about to purchase a Boss 302 manifold today, but I have been reading some very discouraging information about them for N/A cars with 3.31 gears. Besides getting gears, what would be another good mod to gain some time in the 1/4 mile? My current mods are on my signature. Please give some input.
Well I just purchased the last upgrade for now on my 2013 GT Premium. I ordered the DSS Aluminum driveshaft from AmericanMuscle.com I am looking for some good reviews, actual 1/4 mile gains from this upgrade, and any advice for the installation of the piece. I currently have the SR...
Does anyone have the Roush Phase 3 installed on their Coyote Mustang? I am seriously considering this kit, or possibly the Phase 1 kit for warranty reasons. BUT, I really like the Hellion Twin Turbo kit. If anyone has some pros and cons, please let me hear them.
Guys I need some help. I am trying to find a new bumper for my 2013 Mustang GT. I am really liking the GT500 look with the more aggressive splitter and open grille. Does anyone know if the GT500 bumper will bolt up to the regular GT? Also, what is a good place to buy some more aggressive...
Tomorrow night, February 5, some friends and I will be going to No Problem Raceway near Donaldsonville, LA for the Test N Tune night. Admission for drivers is $30, and $10 for spectators. All 21 and over spectators get a coupon for a free cocktail, beer, or softdrink also. I have a 2013...
I haven't had a chance to go to a real track yet to see what kind of times I'm running, but I've been doing runs with the track app everytime I install something new. I live in south Louisiana, so we have good running conditions. When I was stock, the best I got was 12.9 @ 112. Now I'm getting...
